1,111 DeBacco ’10 est (F: 1229 Sundin ’08 x M: 1140 Stevens) estimated weight

Sadly the day before Topsfield Fair a small rot spot was noticed on this pumpkin so I DQ’e d it in the patch. (Note: Picture was taken by Bill Northrup during his visit.) I did not have my in-line scale with me (that is why I go to weigh-off’s) so by time I was able to get down next the pumpkin was un-weighable. It appeared as if the soft spot was eaten by a mouse as there was a physical hole when I returned that compromised the bottom structure.

I did chop it up to get seeds out of it and all that I can say is that other than the bottom rot/soup area this pumpkin was thick! (However, there were no viable seeds.)
